When I think of winter, I think of cool, crisp colors, shiny surfaces, and an overall sense of elegance. It’s a beautiful season to draw inspiration from for your home decor. The best place to start is with a winter color palette to set the mood and lay the foundation for a refreshing space.

White is the primary color to use for a winter color palette. It creates that icy base that mimics snow and brings that clean vibe to the space. On that, you can then layer in colors and textures that suit the style and vibe you want to capture, whether it’s something charming and rustic or glamorous and sophisticated. A winter color palette can be quite versatile and works with a number of styles.

To inspire you, I’ve gathered up 10 beautiful rooms with winter color palettes in various styles and interpretations. They look beautiful all year-round so you can capture the beauty of the season past the winter months.
